Watch 4800 for the Nifty

While the market is in a downtrend, at least for now, it appears that 4800 seems to be holding. A close below 4800 will resume the down move.

HDFC Bank weekly chart was given. While the neckline has been violated, yes, we have to wait for friday to confirm if the weekly close remains below the neckline. Thanks to DK for pointing this out.

Please undertand once again the difference between analysis and trading tactics. The analysis gives us a view. Now, trading methods provide the tools for executing the trade. Theoritically, the stop loss on the HDFC Bank pattern is the right shoulder. But, it is possible to keep a stop loss above this week's high.

Yes, my view remains that Gold and Silver are in their bull markets. Dips are buying opportunities. Both metals have become volatile. So, you need to manage your trading volumes.
